SportVot

A multisport mobile and web streaming platform where users can live stream matches, connect
with their local community and monetize their games.

The Problem
Over 99% of the sports games in the world are live-streamed across any platform, this is
mainly because sports streaming is difficult, inconvenient, and extremely expensive. Thousands
of dollars are spent in buying expensive hardware, software licenses, making provisions for OB
vans, hiring local service providers.

The Solution
SportVot provides a cost-effective and convenient way to stream sports games online, the
SportVot cloud suite lets users produce interactive broadcasts with TV grade graphics providing
and an ESPN or Hotstar type experience all by harnessing the power of smartphones

100% of the sports broadcasting industry which is valued at $1.3 billion currently. The average
revenue per tournament in India is approximately around $500, with an average GPM of ~25%
and estimated average revenue of ~ $2.8 per hour per user.

Competitive Advantage
1. The real problem is overcoming the difficulty of capturing sports games, that is where
sports bodies/tournament organizers start leaning towards finding local service
providers.
2. SportVot’s cloud suite eases the game capture.
3. SportVot partners with local service providers and operators, SportVot’s cloud studio
empowers them with the right tools and technology which helps them reduce costs.

Scalability and Exit

Exclusive partnerships with sports organisations and tournament organisers give access to 100s
of thousands of games and athletes through a single entity. Sportradar, OTT platforms like
Hotstar, prime video or even JIO with its sports broadcasting plans could be potential exits.
Sports gaming companies like Dream11, Sportsbet could also be potential exits.
